Patient Access - Your new on-line service portal

We have upgraded our system and now offer you improved on-line services. This is the new way to request repeat prescriptions and make appointments, 24 hours a day. You can also see your recorded allergies and immunisation status. In the future, using this portal we hope to offer you access to your latest results and a summary of your medical history.

Your named GP

The government have made it a contractual requirement for all patients to have a named or allocated GP. This has been the case since the inception of the NHS then they changed it a few years ago. Now they have changed it back!. All patients have a named GP. If you are not sure who yours is, please ask at the practice. We will be trying our best to tell you anyway when we see you.

Help us keep in touch with you

Modern healthcare is all about being able to easily communicate with your doctor.

If you are happy to provide us with your email address and/or mobile number, we can keep you informed of important news and any checks on your health you may need. We promise to keep your details secure.

Tell us how were are doing

You can give us some feedback on how you feel about our practice by filling in the Friends and Family Survey Form. We can use your responses to help us try to provide what you need from the surgery and local healthcare services. For more information visit our Friends and Family Test information page.

Out Of Area Registrations

You may be aware that the government is introducing a scheme designed to allow patients to register with any practice in the country. We have carefully examined all the documents relating to this scheme. As a practice we feel this scheme has not been well thought out and implementing it at this stage could be damaging to continuity of patient care.

With regret therefore, we will not be participating at the moment. We will of course carefully observe how the scheme pans out and when we are satisfied patient care will be enhanced and not harmed we will reconsider our participation.

PHARMACYOPENING TIMES

Shay Lane Pharmacy

We hope that the new pharmacy will be a welcome addition to the comprehensive medical services we provide at Shay Lane. The Pharmacy remains open even when the surgery is closed.

The Pharmacy opening times are shown to the left. See our surgery opening times. There is a separate entrance at the side of the building when the surgery is closed. Please be reassured there is no obligation for any of our patients to use the new pharmacy. It is owned and run by an independent pharmacist who has relocated from Hale Barns (Hale Barns Pharmacy)
